The five-track EP, entitled 'Available Light', will be released on September 21 via Engine Company Records.

Four songs were written by James McCartney, while the other is a cover of Neil Young's 'Old Man'.

The EP was recorded over a two year period at studios in the US and at Abbey Road in London.

"It is basically rock 'n' roll, clean sounding and vocal," James McCartney said.

"The words on the album refer to spirituality, love, family, trying to sort out one's life, and many other things."

'Available Light' can be pre-ordered on iTunes now ahead of its official release later this month.
